Is DTU good or bad?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Like any other thing, DTU has its own set of weaknesses and strengths. To name a few

Pros

  1. You become fully dependent on self-study and stay motivated on your own. 
  2. It is located in the capital city of India and thus has a plethora of opportunities to offer.
  3. Some recruiters still consider it a part of DU and approach it because of its DCE brand.
  4. DTU still is the mother institution of IIT Delhi and thus has a great faculty pool and academic environment. We have well-qualified teachers and good exposure.
  5. The 150-acre campus is better maintained than the huge forest-like campus of NSIT.
  6. DTU is better than IITs in the sense that its brand name hasn't been diluted yet and it stands high amongst its rivals.
  7. The best part of DTU is the Engifest, a spectacular event with massive participation.

Cons

  • DTU classroom sessions are very lacking so students don't get to experience good classroom learning. 
  • Although it is in Delhi, its location is Bawana
  • DTU lacks the brand value and tag which is crucial for engineering students.
  • The increasing batch size every year is another reason to worry about as it's affecting the cutoffs and placement opportunities directly. 

Overall, DTU is a great choice if you are not after brand value and are ready to commit to hard work.

Which college is better, SIBM Hyderabad or IBS Hyderabad?

TC
Tanuj Chandra Posted On : March 6th, 2023
MBA in Marketing, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (Graduated 2018)

Symbiosis has only good colleges in Pune. SIBM Hyderabad is merely an extension of the franchise, designed to attract students from all over India. If you are interested in attending a Symbiosis college, you should consider SIBM Pune, not SIBM Hyderabad. The same is true for IBS; IBS has many branches, such as IBS Pune and IBS Bangalore, but these are only extensions of the main campus, which is IBS Hyderabad.

It is recommended that you choose a main campus college, rather than an extension of a good college.

The final Verdict is that you should go for IBS Hyderabad. It is always recommended to do your own research and gather information from multiple sources before making a decision on your education. Additionally, factors such as personal preferences, career goals, and financial considerations should also be taken into account.

What is the difference between the preparation strategy for GATE and that of M Tech (CS) at ISI Kolkata?

TC
Tanuja Chakraborty Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute (2017)

I am not fully aware of IITs courses but could still try to give some insight of the same on whatever I got to know from the internet. 

  • The ISI M.Tech CS entrance exam includes an optional Objective Paper Mathematics and a Subjective Paper (you may choose CS).
  • The majority of ISI's placements are in analytics firms so it would be advised to not choose ISI if you're looking for a core CS job.
  • If you are interested in Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, and, most importantly, Cryptography, then ISI would be a good option. 
  • After completing your MTech CS at ISI, you will have several research opportunities in ISI and also abroad.
  • ISI has excellent theoretical CS faculty (Mathematics, Statistics, Cryptography, Machine Learning, Data Science). 
  • So, if you're interested in learning more about these topics, you can come to ISI.

Please do not expect to find Developer, Coder, or Core CS work at ISI after completing your M.Tech. Students have a misconception about it and come here with high hopes which ultimately backfires.

Is it true that SJCE Mysore being converted to JSS science and technological university has degraded the value of the college since the degree is not under VTU?

RT
Reema Tandon, Posted On : October 20th, 2021
B.E Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysuru (2021)

SJCE conversion to JSS has not degraded the value of the course or the degree. These are said to be rumors spread by rival institutions. Let me share some of the facts which might clear your views regarding the institution. 

  • The placements are not affected as notable companies keep on visiting the campus. SJCE has maintained a good relationship with the companies
  • The institute sets its own syllabus, which is industry-oriented unlike that of VTU which is not usually updated.
  • SJCE is known for its brand, the name is not removed from the degrees and is often mentioned by recruiters in India and abroad.
  • The degree programs are accredited by NBA and the degree awarded by the University is recognized by countries that have signed the Washington accord. So, while applying for PG in other countries, your degree has its value.
  • It follows the OBE system and has 5 events per subject which are similar to the model followed by foreign universities, unlike VTU who still follows the age-old internals concept.

It is suggested that you do not go by rumors spread by rival institutions. You can definitely put your trust in SJCE, as it stands strong as one of the notable educational institutions in Karnataka.

I have Delhi quota and defence quota, what should be my AIR to get into DTU, NSIT , IIIT Delhi or NIT Delhi?

VR
Vaishali Roy Posted On : May 2nd, 2026

if you have both Delhi state quota AND defence quota, here's how it works at DTU/NSUT:

Delhi state quota: 85% of seats at DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi reserved for students who passed 12th from Delhi schools. significantly lowers the required rank.

Defence quota: separate 5% horizontal reservation for children/dependents of defence personnel (serving/retired/ex-servicemen) at these colleges. this is across all categories.

when you have both Delhi state + defence quota combined: your effective competition pool is very small — you're competing only against other Delhi-domicile defence quota candidates. the cutoff rank for this specific category is significantly lower than the regular Delhi quota.

realistic AIR for DTU via Delhi+Defence quota:

  • DTU CSE: students with both quotas have gotten in with JEE Main ranks in the 5,000-15,000 range (vs. ~1,500-2,000 for general Delhi quota)
  • DTU ECE/EE: even higher ranks possible, sometimes 20,000-40,000 range

apply through JAC Delhi counseling (jac.delhi.gov.in). select both Delhi state and defence category when filling the form. make sure you have the correct documents (domicile certificate + defence ID/discharge book). specific cutoffs vary yearly.
